Yum your making me hungry. I would have eaten it all to. Don't beat yourself up too much. That is why we have the band. And as soon as we get some good restriction it will stop us from doing that. I ate a whole box of mac-n-cheese this weekend. Well I did have some fish with it. LOL. So I was kinda being good. But I know how you feel. It tastes good so we eat all we can. Hopefully once we get some good restriction it will keep us from doing that. Hang in there. Tomorrow is a new day. We are human after all.

Scared/Nervous-Second guessing myself
SweetP818 replied to kteggers's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did the very same thing! I was in the pre op room getting IV and the whole prep thing and I kept thinking--it's still not too late to back out! I didn't and am happy that I didn't. I have lost 27 lbs so far. I've been stuck at the same weight for 3 weeks now, but I have another fill scheduled the 22nd. I'm hoping for more restriction because I still feel like I eat too much. Stay in there and we'll make it! -
Stayed home from work today. Slept most of the day. Yesterday was horrific! My husband's family always gets together on Sundays after church for dinner. We have the usual southern dinner--fried chicken, creamed potatoes, gravy, mac and cheese, deer ribs, etc. Well, I ate like a horse!!! I was so mad at myself. I came home and put ankle weights on and walked till my ankles hurt! I got really down. I can't understand what's in my pysche that I just have to eat, eat, eat! I wasn't that hungry. It just tasted good. I escape the world by sleeping so that's what I did today. I haven't done too bad today. Hope you are doing better than I am! Stay strong!

Just checking in to see how you are doing. How's it going? I was doing good but got on the scale this morning and gained 3 pounds. UGH! Going in for a fill on monday, hopefully this will help.

No, WE did not make a mistake! We are going to do this! Well, the 5 day pouch test lasted until tonight! I was really hungry so I had a sandwich. I still stayed within my calorie range so maybe the scales will be kind in the morning. Can't wait till the next fill. I'm ready to eat a little bit and be full. Past my bedtime so I'd better go. Got work tomorrow. Hope you have a great day tomorrow. write soon.

Wow that is great you have lost. I am still waiting. Clothes are just as tight as ever. I saw that you were banded the same day I was so I sent the friend request. I like to see how others are doing. It gives me hope that this will eventaually work. Let me know how that 5-day pouch test goes. Since I had my 3rd fill yesterday I seem to not be as hungry and I am eating less. So that is good. I have another appt on monday for another fill just in case. I totally understand about the rollercoaster feelings. I have been getting so depressed on here reading how great everyone is doing and losing. Wondering if I made a huge mistake by having this surgery. Keep in touch.

I don't have a magic answer, but my heart reaches out to you. I, like you, have always wanted to be small. I have always been the "big" one. I was actually a cheerleader in high school weighing in at 145, but my nickname was still "Fat Pat". I got so sick of that. And now at 202, after losing 24 lbs, I wonder what they would say if they saw me today? I'm sure they wouldn't believe that I've lost any! I've only had 1 fill and I'm able to eat way too much. I wish I could say words that could help. Would it be possible to see a different doctor? There are 2 doctors in the office where I go, husband and wife. It's amazing how different they are. I'd like to keep in touch. Where do you live, etc? I am in Arkansas, work at a bank, husband, 2 grown children, 1 grandson. Maybe we can keep each other by talking.:thumbup:

Hello, I'm still trying to figure out things on this website. I love reading about other folk's successes. I was banded on 11/19/08. Started out at 226 and I'm down to 202. I had reached 198, but the holidays hit! I have been easier on myself since I've read of other's battles. I started the 5-day pouch test today, so maybe I can lose the extra weight. I've had 1 fill and another scheduled for 1/22. I guess the thing that has surprised me the most is the emotional roller coaster this surgery has caused. One day I'm on top of the world and the next I'm wondering why in the heck I did this! But I look in the mirror or put on a sweater I haven't been able to wear in years and it's all worthwhile. Thanks for asking me to be a friend. I'd love to have someone to talk to. I have 4 friends in my church who have had lap band also. We actually have enough to have our own support meetings! Better go. Got a few chores to do before bedtime.:thumbup:

I know where you are! I'm there, too. Banded on 11/19/08. Eating way too much. Scared silly that I have stretched or messed something up. I seem to try to "push" the limit every day. Crazy, I know.:biggrin:
